Swades | A Journey of Self-Discovery

[@pratapmishra5278]

The scene where Mohan(SRK) buys Tea from a child when train stops is one of the best scenes I've seen in my life . From acting to cinemeotrgraphy & Background score everything is top notch in that scene. Edited : Yes he buys water , my bad 😂

[@trinayanakaushik811]

Agreed. The scene is absolutely a marvel. ❤️

[@apoorvdwivedi2789]

It's not tea but water.... And truly a heart melting scene .... Best scene

A highly underrated movie. We didn't deserve Swades. But hopefully, through our changing movie-watching sensibilities, maybe we will become worthy of a second Swades whosoever decides to make in the future.

[@CinemaBeyondEntertainment]

Are our movie watching sensibilities really changing? Let's see this week which movie makes more business, Haraamkhor or Ok Janu!

[@RohitTandekar]

No guesses there. But a Haraamkhor twenty years ago wouldn't have done as well as it will do now. And a Ok Jaanu twenty years ago wouldn't have received as much flak from a thinking audience as it will now. That's change, brother.

[@CinemaBeyondEntertainment]

+Rohit Tandekar I'm glad someone is positive about the changing conditions of Hindi cinema. Because I am quite pessimistic about it, even though I will always fight for better quality and voice my dissatisfaction.

[@Brahma072]

I don't understand why you criticise the romance shown in the movie as a distraction, because Swades is one of my all time fav movies, and I have gone back to watching the movie again and again, often only for those beautiful scenes between SRK and the lead actress. I am sure many fans of the film do that too. Besides, you said some dialogues are like from 80s, so let me say that those dialogues are something that is still, in 2017, said by a lot of people in rural India. Also, those views haven't been justified, rather condemned in the film. So I guess these two criticisms are misplaced. Except that, great analysis. Keep it up.

[@neethuu]

I agree with you 100% with everything u said here...i was just about to write here and i saw yours...our views matches...thanks for putting into words what i wanted to say to this channel admin
